Abstract
Robert Fothergill was born 1943 in Surrey, England. He emigrated to Canada in 1963, and for the past 31 years has been a professor of Drama at York University in Toronto. Fothergill’s first play, Something To Do (1966) directed by David Bolt, won a Hart House playwriting award. In 1970 CBC television produced his drama Countdown Canada, and in 1987 Detaining Mr Trotsky, directed by Richard Greenblatt, played at Toronto Free Theatre and won a Chalmers runner-up award. At the time this interview was conducted, Public Lies was also a nominee for the 1993 Chalmers Award. Kym Bird and Ed Nyman spoke to Fothergill last April at their usual donut shop.
